The San Antonio Spurs have reached agreement with the SuperSonics that will bring them center Kurt Thomas in exchange for guard Brent Barry, center Francisco Elson and a 2009 first-round draft pick, league sources said Wednesday.

The teams are in the process of finalizing the deal with league officials.

By acquiring Thomas, the Spurs get some needed size to help them counter Phoenix’s Shaquille O’Neal and Houston’s Yao Ming. They also are expected to drop under the luxury-tax threshold, possibly saving them about $2 million. In exchange, San Antonio will send the Sonics a portion of the savings.

While Barry has been sidelined with a calf injury, Ime Udoka has taken his place in the rotation and proven to be a dependable contributor with his defense and 3-point shooting. Elson’s inconsistency limited his role with the Spurs this season.

The Sonics, who also considered an offer from the Orlando Magic for Thomas, have now generated three first-round draft picks from Rashard Lewis’ sign-and-trade deal last summer.

Good move for the Spurs. They're going to need 6 more fouls at the 4/5 spots now that Shaq and Pau are playing for their rivals.

Probably wanted to do it now before the Mavs figured out that they have no size. They'll do something by tomorrow to address that. They have to.

Good move - they needed a big man to rest Duncan and not lose defense. But I doubt this move will be a difference maker per se.

Exactly what I thought when I saw this. KT is Duncans bodyguard. He fits the Spurs style all day. Expect nice elbows and cheap shots.

Its on!!! The West is loading up the guns. Dallas? Come get you some Zeddy.

They did not want Duncan to have to go against KT in the playoffs!

Now Malik Rose should be in great demand.

As I said over the Summer Presti is "Putting On A Clinic" of the proper way to tear down and rebuild.

Kurt has a good deal of value even at this stage to a franchise trying to win something. Layden didn't get them all wrong

I can't wait for the playoffs to start. The West is going to be so much fun to watch. Good, meaningful and exciting basketball, I barely remember what it looks like. Maybe I'll remember why I used to love the NBA as much as I once did.

Hey Layden wanted to let him walk, Isiah extended him.

Kamm:
Look it up - Layden extended him 3 yrs/13million .
Not everything is Isiah's fault. Blame Jerome James/Q Rich/ Mo Taylor and a bunch of others- but not this one.

You don't have to defend him on every single ocassion, he's more than capable of taking care of himself. He's from the WEST SIDE OF CHICAGO!

Sorry, but that's incorrect.

That was his second negotiated contract removed from his rookie deal. He's referring to his first extension Layden gave him. I SAY UGH gave him a second contract which swung the Q and Nate trade

Here's Kurt's salary history

But this gets me thinking, he's trying to pin Layden's decision of giving him a market value extension for Kurt's services during his managing tenure. To be honest Kurt quite possibly could have been worth more to other teams. That was actually an economical extension given.

Fault? I wasn't ascribing fault to Isiah for signing KT. That was the right move.

He was correcting Kam when Kam said that Isiah extended him.

Take a trip to happy town.
